A Sydney-based indie-folk band, Little May creates sprawling yet intricate heart-warming harmonies. Formed from the story-telling talents of Hannah Field, Liz Drummond and Annie Hamilton; Little May is the tale of three friends making a name for themselves and winning hearts both locally and abroad.
Playing at Secret Garden Festival 2013 and the Australia Music Prize PRE-AMP function, the girls have received a reputation for capturing audiences with their guitar driven melodies and skilful songwriting. Sharing stages with the likes of Triple J heart throb, Dustin Tebbutt, as well as selling out their own headline show in Sydney, Little May show no sign of slowing down.
Heavily inspired by the likes of folk-loving friends, Fleetwood Mac, Mumford & Sons and Local Natives, the outfit make a notable nod to the likes of fem-folk trailblazers such as Julia Stone and Holly Throsby.
The second single 'Hide' was plucked from their debut EP released in late 2013. Testament to Little May's diversity, 'Hide' is a darker, more intricate offering and follows on from the flowing reviews received from their debut single,
'Boardwalks'. Recorded and produced by Sam Thomlinson and Michael McGlynn, and mixed by Michael McGlynn at Vienna People Studios, the single was mastered by William Bowden at King Willy Sound, mastering engineer and joint winner with Gotye of Record of the Year at the 55th Grammy Awards, 2013.

Little May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I better go
It's been five years
Waiting for the snow
Blind man, if I heal you, could you tell me
How to go
Where I can be
'Til we get
'Til we get home
'Til we get
'Til we get
'Til we get home
Don't let us
I'm getting better now
Don't wanna go
Still keep coming down, down, down
Your fine line in my mind, babe
Kills me right there
You're keeping me behind you
All I wanna do is find you
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
Jet setter
I think I better go
It's been five years
Waiting for the snow
Your fine line in my mind, babe
Kills me right there
You're keeping me behind you
All I wanna do is find you
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
'Til we get
'Til we get
'Til we get home
'Til we get
'Til we get
'Til we get home
'Til we get
'Til we get
'Til we get home
'Til we get
'til we get
'til we get home
I don't think we'll ever know, 'til we get home
The lyrics to Little May's "Home" express a feeling of displacement and a yearning for a sense of belonging. The repetitive phrase " 'til we get home" emphasizes the idea of searching for a place to belong and the uncertainty of whether or not that place exists. The opening lines "Jet setter, I think I better go" suggest a life of travel and transience, further emphasizing the idea of not having a permanent home. The line "Your fine line in my mind, babe, kills me right there" may refer to a complicated and possibly tumultuous relationship that is causing the singer to feel lost and searching for a sense of grounding.
The line "Blind man, if I heal you, could you tell me how to go" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's own feelings of being lost and searching for direction. The phrase "waiting for the snow" could also have multiple meanings, potentially referring to either a literal winter season or a metaphorical waiting period for a new beginning or sense of clarity. Overall, the lyrics of "Home" paint a picture of longing and searching for a place of belonging amidst feelings of displacement and uncertainty.

Little May are sadly quite unknown just like Wilsen, let's hope a fine band like Little May will hit it big soon.
